Huayu Lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Huayu Village, Penghu County, Taiwan.

The white circular concrete tower rises 12.5 meters high on a hilltop, featuring a distinctive black lantern dome at its summit.

The Japanese administration constructed this lighthouse in 1939 to strengthen maritime navigation control and military observation in the Taiwan Strait.

The lighthouse stands on an island named for its abundant flowers, reflecting the local naming traditions of the Penghu archipelago fishing communities.

Visitors need to arrange transportation through local boat operators from Magong Harbor to reach this remote navigation structure.

Located at 119.18 degrees east longitude, this lighthouse witnesses Taiwan's last daily sunset, occurring 20 seconds after the mainland.
